Souvenir of Péronne

Nice picture! It was taken in March 1917, when the town was reconquered by British troops. Another picture of Péronne follows tomorrow…

The war memorial of Poncin

It’s been a long time I didn’t show you a war memorial. As I was in France during last week-end, here’s one taken in the small town of Poncin, between Lyon and Geneva. The allegory of mourning is based on the representation of the mother sitting on the basis of the memorial.
